Answer:

b. Acid rain falling on sidewalks

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Acid rain contains majorly carbonic acid
H_2CO_3 which could react with the concrete that is used to make sidewalks. This chemical reaction, although varies based on the concrete's composition, usually gives off carbon dioxide owing to the acid's instability and leads to the weathering since the sidewalks start to wear out and subsequently break down.

Best regards.
